I want to set PowerShell 7 as the default shell. So when I shift right click in File Explorer and click on "Open PowerShell window here" in the context menu, I want PowerShell 7 to come up.
And I want to remove completely the other versions.
Is there anyway to do that?
Follow these steps:
Click on the down arrow and press settings
A json file will open, and you will see a line near the top that has a parameter called defaultProfile with a UUID.
Also you will see a line representing the UUID of the PowerShell 7.0
Copy that UUID and put it in for defaultProfile
Good Luck!

I want to change the default layout of Window's Powershell so that it can expand to entire screen.
I tried from properties option.
But when I click the ok button, I am getting below error in Windows 8.1
Unable to modify the shortcut:
Check to make sure it has not been deleted or renamed
Settings get reflected even getting the above error, but it reset to its original settings after reopening of Powershell.
Edit the "Defaults" which is in the menu above "Properties". This will persist your changes even after closing and re-opening the window.
You should be looking at setting up your Powershell profile. The profile file is usually kept in your user location and contains, amongst other things, the settings for your Powershell session.
This should get you started: http://www.howtogeek.com/50236/customizing-your-powershell-profile/
And there's plenty of reading here on SO if you search for 'Powershell Profile'.
Say you have File.m showing in the blue area above.
I want File.m to open in a new separate window.
How to do this??
Note that - of course - IF you have the ProjectNavigator showing and IF you can see the filename "File.m", then double-click on the filename and it will open in a new window.
What I want to do is open ANOTHER copy of the "CURRENT" file (the one in the primaryEditor) in a NEW WINDOW - without touching the ProjectNavigator.
Any ideas? Cheers
Note that ... (an excellent page here)
http://realmacsoftware.com/blog/xcode-4-s-less-obvious-shortcuts
if you click on whatever file is in the current primaryEditor, then shift option apple comma that will indeed open the following "freaky little-known Xcode popup" ...
you can then, indeed, choose to open a new window. (So to be clear, that is exactly what I want to do.)
So, I want to be able to do that in one step. Cheers!
In XCode's Preferences you can change the following:
And then right-click within the primary editor and click "Open in Separate Window"
Edit:
Instead of right clicking in the primary editor you can simply type command+option+, (comma)
Open the file what you want to open in the NEW window.
Command + Shift + t
Open the file what you want to open in the separated window.
Command + Option + ,
I wrote a new automator service that does the following steps in Xcode:
Execute the default shortcut for the "Open in..." menu item (Command-O)
(if this isn't your current "Open in" shortcut, the workflow will not work. If you still want to test it, just changed your default shortcut :) )
Go all the way to the left in the weird "Open in" view
hit Enter
Current file opened in new window
The only thing you need to do is install the service on osx and map a shortcut to it.
Here a download to the service:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/486t2iz17o0l9dh/Open-New-Window.zip
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.Place Service file in folder ~/Library/Services
2. Open "System preferences"
3. > Keyboard
4. > Tab "ShortCuts" > "Service" > "General"
5. > Set your own shortcut for the service
6. Go to XCode and test the service by using your very own shortcut
Tested on OS X Mavericks, Xcode 5.0.1
In XCode 4 you can have a split window via View -> Show Assistant Editor. Then choose the same file which you have already opened in the Primary editor by the small right arrows on top of Assistant Editor.
Thanks
in the ProjectNavigator. If you see the file name: Double click on the file name. It will open in a new window.
How can I configure Notepad++ to open a file in a new window when I right-click it and select Edit with Notepad++ ? I already know I have to launch the program with the -multiInst switch, I just don't know how to add that to the registry mapping for the right-click.
If you want to fix the right-click behavior of "Edit with Notepad++", first go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Notepad++
If the default value is:
{00F3C2EC-A6EE-11DE-A03A-EF8F55D89593}
then go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00F3C2EC-A6EE-11DE-A03A-EF8F55D89593}\Settings
Among the items should be Custom REG_SZ and nothing after it. Change the value to -nosession -multiInst.
It should now read Custom REG_SZ -nosession -multiInst. If you already have custom arguments defined, then just add a space and append -nosession -multiInst to the list.

I use a 2016 version of the NotePad++ installer. It natively includes Plugin Manager, context menu support and right click > Open of many files without any issues.
After installing, I go to Help > Update and the helpful settings remain in the upgrade.
I'm on Windows XP and I just installed GVim 7.3. How do I make the default editor? How can I make it run using the command prompt
e.g.
c:\Windows>gvim boot.ini
open this file in gvim.
Thanks a lot
Add Gvim to your PATH variable
To be able to call Gvim from the command line, you have to add the installation directory of Vim to your PATH variable. To do that, right click on My Computer on the desktop (or in Explorer) → Properties → Advanced Tab → Click on Button Environment Variables.
In the Dialog, go to the User Variables field and search if there is already a PATH variable. If there is a PATH Variable, select it, click Edit and change it as follows:
%PATH%;C:/Program Files/Vim/Vim73
(or whatever the installation directory of Gvim is).
If there is no PATH variable set, create a new one with the content written above.
Confirm everything with OK, then open a new command window (important!), navigate to the desired directory and type
gvim somefile.txt
This should bring up your favourite editor.
Set Gvim as default editor for a certain file type
Adding Gvim to your PATH doesn't make Gvim the default editor for a certain file type. This can be achieved the following way:
In Explorer, right click on any file and select Open With → Choose Program
in the upcoming window, select Vi improved - A Text Editor or browse for gvim.exe if the entry is not already there
select the Always use the selected program ... checkbox and click OK
from now on, every time you double-click the file, it will be opened with Gvim
The easiest way
If you install Gvim, be sure to check the Add to context menu option. If you did that, you can right click on any file in the Windows Explorer and select Edit with Vim.
Right click the any file you want to open -> select Open or Open With ->check always open with the following editor.
After installing vim the "Edit with vim..." menu item appears in the context menu (RMB click on any file to check). Thus you can edit any file (not only text file) with just selecting this menu item
Add gvim to the PATH variable and you can run it right as you want:
c:\Windows>gvim boot.ini
